Erza slowed the car to a stop and I was so glad. I was practically hanging out the window and Natsu looked like he was about ready to join me.
"I can understand cars or boats, but why a train?" I heard Lucy say. I crawled over to where she was looking out over the Kunugi Station.
"It doesn't make a very good get away since it can only follow the tracks it's on." Happy added.
"Yes, but they are quite fast." Erza remarked.
I only moaned and Natsu had proceeded to begin throwing up where I had been earlier. I wished I'd brought Stella, but she's so little, I didn't want her to risk getting hurt, I thought to myself. Stella was my cat, she flew just like Happy. However she was only about 8 years old (In human years) so I didn't want to risk her getting hurt on a mission so I left her in Magnolia. Boy, was I regretting that decision!
"I guess it's up to us to figure out what those Eisenwald jerks want with it and why." Gray stated.
"Gray you're naked!" Lucy shrieked once again. I turned to give him a ferocious glare although my motion sickness dispelled the image somewhat.
"Clothes. Now." I ordered him before turning to vomit outside the window again.
"Honestly, you two are a disgrace. The car isn't even moving!" Gray yelled at Natsu and I. I would've frozen him solid for a week if I hadn't felt so awful!
Lucy remarked that the military had been called in and Erza started moving the car again. I wasn't properly seated so I got thrown back. She began driving again. I heard Gray and Erza yelling at each other about speed and the use of magical power.
As we roared into town, Natsu began to hang himself out of the window, almost falling out. Lucy began to yell at him while Happy was mumbling to himself.
"That's it! I h-have had enough!" I yelled, struggling to stand and not lose my lunch. I kicked out the door while Lucy shrieked some more.
"Erza I'll meet you all at the station!" I yelled up to the front.
"What are you doing?! You're going to kill someone!" Gray yelled at me. I managed a sickly grin and looked up and him.
"Watch and Learn, stripper!" I summoned my magic and began to create a frozen path of ice. I jumped from the car and the momentum kept me moving. I had to continue conjuring the path as we went along, but I could keep up with Erza's car no problem. This was my preferred method of travel.
Erza slammed on the breaks as she skidded to a stop in front of Oshibana Station. Everyone practically fell out of the car and with a flick of my hand, my ice melted. We ran up to the station, Erza in the lead.
"Excuse me sir, what's going?!" She said to the train official with authority in her voice. With the smartass remark he gave, he was lucky the only thing she did was knock him out. As she began to start the same process on another official, Lucy lamented Erza's interrogation methods. The results produced however, she could not deny. "The Eisenwald guild is inside. Let's go!"
And then…
We raced into the station, as we ran, Erza divulged what she had learned, "The army sent a small unit in a few hours ago. They have yet to return. I'm guessing they've been caught in battle with the Eisenwald forces."
We came upon a hallway filled with downed soldiers. They were slumped everywhere and many were dead.
"They've been completely wipe out." Happy whispered. "They were up against an entire guild of wizards. A small contingent like this would never stand a chance against such a powerful group." Erza stated. I leaned over to check a few that seemed alive but that was for naught. Eisenwald had wiped every last one of them out. I growled and clenched my fists as we heard a dark chuckle.
"Welcome! Step into our parlor, Fairy Tail flies!" a man with white hair and strange tattoos mocked us as Eisenwald's forces laughed.
"Woah, there's a lot of them." Lucy whimpered.
"You fiend. I take it you're Erigor?" Erza demanded of the figure with large scythe.
The figure only laughed, that was enough answer. Lucy was frantically attempting to revive Natsu, who had yet to recover from his motion sickness. One of the guild members yelled at Natsu, which seemed to rouse him. As Natsu seemed to revive, I snorted. Typical, he wakes up so he can fight.
"You think we're scared?!" I yelled at the Eisenwald forces, "Try swatting these fairies and you may just find yourselves having a frosty welcome!" My anger began to show and the temperature began to drop in the room.
"Tell us what you're planning to do with lullaby!" Erza demanded of Erigor.
"Oh, you haven't heard yet?" Eregor laughed and flew into the air. "What do all train stations have?"
"He flew!?" Lucy exclaimed.
"He's using wind magic." Happy said quietly.
"You're planning to broadcast lullaby's song?!" Erza yelled at Erigor. He laughed again, a menacing sound.
"Thousands of nosy onlookers have flocked to the scene, who knows? Maybe if I raise the volume loud enough I could extinguish the entire town with my melody of death!" Erigor cackled.
" You've got to do one thing first asshole, you have to go through us!" I yelled at the arrogant mage. Erigor sneered at me.
"This is a cleansing of those who don't appreciate their rights or notice the plight of those who have had theirs taken away. They have committed the sin of turning a blind eye to the world's injustice. Therefore, the reaper has come to punish them!" Erigor continued with his mad speech.
"But killing them isn't going to help you get your rights back. It's only going to make it worse! That's the whole reason you were kicked out of the wizard league in the first place!" Lucy yelled at Erigor.
"Lucy." I said firmly and placed a gentle hand on her shoulder. "They're lunatics and madmen. Your logic falls upon deaf ears, but it's a true argument nonetheless."
"We've given up trying to regain our rights! We want power then we will be able to wash away the sins of the past and take control of what happens in the future!" Erigor yelled.
"You guys are all insane!" Lucy yelled.
"We're ushering in a new age of darkness. Too bad you flies won't be there to see it!" One of the wizards yelled before his face glowed with magic. Shadows raced towards us and came alive into the air, arcing towards Lucy in a smashing motion.
I react without thinking, I dash in front of Lucy in an attempt to shield her, as I realize Natsu is standing and has destroyed the shadows with one blow.
"You again?!" the wizard yells at Natsu. That must be the one he fought on the train.
"Yo Eisenwald dude, I thought I recognized that voice. " Natsu yells back at the shadow wizard.
"Natsu, you're back to normal!" Lucy yells with joy.
"About time. Should've just ridden the ice with me flame-brain." I smile at Natsu though,
"Aw, those stupid slides are no better than some car!" He yells back at me. I smirk and turn my attention back to the Eisenwald wizards, letting him have the last word, for now.
"Looks like we've got ourselves a party." Natsu grins.
"No, Natsu these are the guys we have to fight!" Lucy yells at him.
"I know, like I said it's a party." Natsu smiles and cracks his knuckles together. I grin and nod in agreement.
"This is the strongest team Fairy Tail has to offer, you better be ready!" Lucy yells, and throws an accusing finger at the wizards.
"I leave them to you, show them the terror of the dark guild Eisenwald!" Erigor yells to his minions, then vanishes like a puff of smoke. All right, let's go! I think to myself and prepare to face the wizards head on. No point worrying about him unless he's here to get his own beating.
"Natsu and Gray, go. I need you to stop him. If the two of you work together, not even Erigor the reaper can beat you! I'm leaving him in your hands." Erza commands the boys. They begin to glare at one another as Erza turns around.
"What did I say?!" She yells ferociously and they change into two Happys.
"Aye!" They yelp in unison then rush off together. Two of the Eisenwald wizards split off to follow them, but even those two can take these weaklings.
"We'll catch up with them once we finish off the rest of them, okay?" Erza tells Lucy and I.
"Three girls against an entire magical guild!?" Lucy whimpers.
"Them, oh please, don't sweat the small fry Lucy." I let my ice come forth and the temperature drops into subzero. The guild cackles and prepares to attack. Lucy lapses into a daydream, but Erza and I are ready.
"Let's do this!" Erza yells as she begins to requip.
"All right, let's put these punks on ice!" I cheer. I inhale and yell out, "Ice dragon Roar!" The enemies are coated in ice, but more swarm up. I lose track of Erza and Lucy in the melee as I continue to fight on through.
"Ice dragon's blades of ice!' I yell and leap into the air, sending wicked shards of ice into the crowd below. I pause in my attacks when I see Erza requip into her famous armor, The Knight.
"Now, dance my swords!" She cries out as her blades begin to revolve around her and are sent flying into the crowd taking down most of the guild in a single blow.
"I knew it!" One of the guild wizards calls out.
One of the two remaining leapt at Erza, but was stopped solid in his tracks, literally, as I attacked. "Frozen kiss!" I called out and blew one in his direction. In an instant he was frozen into a block of ice.
"She's Queen of the Fairies, Titania Erza! Which means, the blue haired one must be Glacial Aquila!" the same guild member yells.
In spite of myself I grin, "Wow, Glacial Aquila, haven't heard that in a while, aye Titania?" I call out to Erza as she requips into her normal armor. The final wizard standing proceeds to run for the hills.
"I would imagine he's going to look for Erigor, you should follow him." Erza instructs Lucy.
"Wha- me?!" Lucy yelps.
"Just do it!" Erza yells and Lucy bleats out a "Yes ma'am." before running for the same proverbial hills.
I rush forward as Lucy leaves and Erza sags forward. I catch her and support her so she can still stand.
"Gray was right, I overdid it on the magic mobile." She murmurs.
I snort, "Damn straight you did, but you had to otherwise we wouldn't have made it, but that doesn't matter right now. We need to warn the bystanders." Erza nods wearily and pulls herself upright without my help. I frown but say nothing. She's too stubborn to stay here and rest for a moment, even if she needs it.
We make our way outside where Erza commandeers a bullhorn form one of the train security men. "If you value your lives then you will leave this place at once. This station has been taken over by evil wizards. They are threatening to broadcast a deadly spell over the loudspeakers that would kill everyone here. I beg you run as far as you can!" with that declaration from Erza the crowd begins to stampede far away from the station.
"Now that I've cleared everyone away from the train station, I wonder what Erigor's next move will be?" Erza wonders.
"Nothing good." I declare. We turn and our mouths drop as a wall of wind surrounds the station.
"It's some kind of wind barrier!" Erza declares and I quirk half a smile.
I can't resist, "No, I thought it was ice or fire." My remark is met with a smack from Erza. A dark chuckle is issued form behind us.
"I've always the opportunity to fight the Queen of the Fairies or the legendary Icy Damsel, but unfortunately, I don't have time to play with you right now." Erigor remarks and flicks his hand.
Before Erza or I have time to react we a flung back through the wind wall.
"Erigor!" Erza cries out and attempts to break through the wall but is flung back.
"It's useless. There's no way you will ever be able to break through my magic sealing wind barrier. You see, it's one way only, if you try to escape the wind will tear you apart." He lectures mockingly form the other side of the wall.
"Erigor come fight us fair you two faced bastard!" I scream at him, but I'm soundly ignored.
"We've wasted enough of our time on you Fairy Tail flies. Now if you'll excuse me." Erigor finishes his cold statement then rises out of our view.
"Curse you Erigor, I will stop you. He wasn't targeting this station after all. What is he planning?" Erza curses.
"I don't know what he's up to, but let me talk to one of his thugs. I'm sure I can coax the true plan out of them." I state with ice in my tone.
"That may be our only option." Erza nods as the wind wall swirls in front of us as our quarry moves further and further away.
